I wore this adorable frock to have dinner, drinks, & see a movie with the girlie. I immediately purchased this dress...how could I not? Orange! I'm so predictable. I am in love with everything about this dress with the exception of the waist placement...I wish it were an empire waist, or at least a bit higher. MM2 is a collaboration between Melissa Masse & Jaclyn McCabe, & this dress is a similar cut to Melissa Masse's "Magic Dress". The slinky fabric is lovely to touch & the pattern is fantastically fun. I also appreciated that the edges of the neckline & sleeves were finished with solid black...I thought it framed the dress nicely.

I was planning on wearing boring black shoes with this outfit until Super Boo brought me these shoes from the 90s. I never would have picked them myself & I ended up loving them with this dress.

The cuteness that is Kate...in Leota via GB.

Jason stopped by to cuddle with Kate, so we have girlies x 2 in 1 photo! Blurry, but adorable...Jason & Kate...

Merchant had just released their spring cocktail menu the day before...so there were all kinds of new libations to imbibe. We managed to try 5 of them. Along with homemade pasta & a beet spinach salad. My first drink was Total Eclipse of the Tart....

Then, the event of the evening...seeing The Breakfast Club in the theater for the 30th anniversary showing. I saw The Breakfast Club when it was first released with Shane. This, along with Pretty in Pink were my 2 favorite movies from my high school years. It was still just as wonderful 30 years later.

About Me

I'm a 40-something psychotherapist living in Madison, WI. The 40-something is not to be coy, but because I know I won't remember to change this every year and I'd rather add years than subtract them so you think, damn! she looks good for her age. Add 10 years, don't subtract them.
I like to take pictures of food, but here I am with a fashion blog...be warned...food may creep in. I have been collecting vintage costume jewelry since I was a child & I love putting the perfect pieces together to wear with an outfit. Accessories are important.
